Cast List

Location List

Location List

Bathroom scene:
 For the bathroom scene we will be filming at my house as my bathroom most resembles the one in the video. The layout of my bathroom also is similar to the original. The only aspects we will have to change will be adding a mirror and rearranging where the towels are kept.

The kitchen scene:
The kitchen scene will be shot at Jamie's house, again this is because his most resembles the one in the video. The placement of the cooker and work surfaces are almost the same and this will create verisimilitude.

The corridor scene:
This will also be shot at Jamie's house as he has the largest corridor which will make it easier to film. The doors are also arranged in a similar way to the original. We can also recreate the lighting easier here as there is a good amount of natural light at the end furthest away, just like in the original video.

The White Brick Wall:
We will be going to Grovehill Road in Beverley to shoot this scene. This is because none of us have any other access to a white brick wall. Also with it being outside there will be a good amount of light and also we don't have to worry about damage to our property.

Filming Order

After watching the re-reversed video of Alt j - Breezeblocks, we could then see in what order we need to film. I then made a list to show this.

Reversed Video

Due to the music video being filmed then reversed, it made it extra difficult to recreate as everything is backwards so to make it easier, I found a video that was the original film before it was reversed which made it clearer for us to copy.

Original Video

This is the original video of Alt J - Breezeblocks which me and my group will be recreating.

AS-A2 Media Studies Transition Brief

In order to prepare for your A2 Media Studies coursework - the Advanced Portfolio, you need to:
- Work in a group of 3 to 4 people to plan and produce a reconstruction of a minute of an existing music video.
- Set up your individual A2 Coursework blog and chose your coursework brief.
- Gather and evidence research into the conventions of your chosen brief over the summer starting with codes and conventions of your media form with examples, and also the genre of the text you intend to produce. (i.e. Music Video conventions and rock conventions as an example)
